We dont "need" BE. He isnt even a self-professed marxist. Just because he speaks with an righteous fervour, does not make him “morally forthright” (this idealism plagues our leftist movements). His disgusting behaviour towards BayArea (an actual POC) and horrendous take on Donbass is evident of his uselessness towards our movements.
Despite actually being right about Hassan and other left pop stars. Yet just because he is right sometimes doesnt mean he is right forever. He does not offer a future. Not to himself nor to anyone really. He is a hurt man and therefore lashes out.
The world is changing.
I'm afraid to ask and yet I must know
He doxxed bayareas415, causing him to lose his job as a lawyer and receive death threats.
Holyshit, that was him? I feel so hurt and betrayed
Yes.
Any reason why?
As far as I can tell, it was because they had differing views on China and argued about it.
If it were for a valid reason I would fully expect BE to shout it from the rooftops.
Idk because BayArea made a lot of pro-PRC videos when that take was not popular yet.
He also made fun of an SA victim because he was beefing with some maoists
He's pro Ukraine, and also anti China
in the year of our lord. i thought even anti-war-ism people were for peace by now
Basically denying that leftist/donbass freedom fighters existed, russia somehow twisted the narrative to seem it more popular than it was. So while he concedes crimeans wanted to be russian (which most do at this point tbh) the donbass didnt because 47% of the donbass chose to identify as Ukrainian (which is not how their identity works in that region)
lol it's even internally contradictory. if donbass was puppet regime, it's nonsense to concede crimea not being one.
the legitimacy/popularity of DPR LPR is pretty passé these days though, they're gone and the political question is superceded by nato/eu
Yeah it is.
They took the heaviest casualties, and then were marginalized with the arrival of the main russian force. It was a double bind for them. But anyways, he implied that russia conjured the whole separatist thing up in the first place (donbass only became separatist in response to the nazification and increasing hostility by Ukraine).
if anything has become clear as time has gone on it's how meek russia had been in the donbass, it's really difficult to imagine them being on the cutting edge of manufacturing separatism when their actual deployment of soldiers there was completely inadequate lol
I am always perplexed when anyone expects anything more from video essay-ists, these people basically just summarise wikipedia articles
